Amy Winehouse has been busted by the police on Wednesday for drug possession. It was just last week that the singer was questioned by police on charges of assault and later let off with a caution. This time around, she might not get so lucky. The 24-year old British pop wreck was again arrested by so-called appointment. This incident is apparently related to her crack smoking video a few months back. Perhaps there was some problem if they consider the many offenses she’s committed and that she really shouldn’t have had any drugs in her hands at that time. If we could trust Pete Doherty’s words, maybe jail would do Wino some good – though it’s doubtful.
Rihanna sizzles on the June 2008 cover of Elle magazine. In the accompanying interview, she addresses the rumors about a romance between her and Jay-Z. Geeze, he’s already married to Beyonce and they’re still on this? Anyway, Rihanna says “Well, it’s crazy that you ask me that. People know that it’s not true. I think it’s kinda a cliche question, and people know it’s not true, so I don’t even know why it’s still addressed to this day. I get asked about it all the time and I’m like, You’re asking, but you know the answer. I don’t even like to address it anymore.”
Are we getting sick of American Idol? There are several things indicating that it’s the case. Even though over 29 million viewers tune in to the show every week this season, industry insiders are pretty concerned about the declines in key demographics and average total viewers. While Simon Cowell says that it’s because the contestants lack personality, the insiders are saying that it may be show fatigue. They say that hit shows, no matter how popular, usually get diminishing ratings somewhere from season 5 to 7. Idol is currently on its 7th season. Are we really over it? Is it time to pull the plug?
Another new A-list relationship looks to be nicely taking shape.
Kirsten Dunst and Ryan Gosling have finally gone public after being spotted snogging each other’s faces off at a New York club last night. Kirsten met the actor shortly after leaving Utah’s Cirque Lodge rehab clinic last month.
A source said: “They were making out publicly. They didn’t even try to hide it.”
The couple were first spotted together on a date at New York’s Freemans restaurant two weeks ago.
An onlooker said: “They were definitely acting like they were on a date. They lingered there for hours.”
Kirsten, 25, has been single since splitting from Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell last year.
Ryan, 27, split from his The Notebook co-star Rachel McAdams in April 2007 after a two-year relationship.
First there was Bennifer, then there was Brangelina, Tomkat and Reesenhaal.
Somehow Dunling doesn’t have the same appeal.
Britney Spears is one unwanted pop wreck on the CBS sitcom that she recently appeared on last month – at least according to one of its stars. In an exclusive interview with AP, ‘How I Met Your Mother’ star Neil Patrick Harris says he doesn’t want Brit back. It was nothing personal. It’s just that he doesn’t think they need recovering wrecks on the show for cheap ratings’ boosts. He also said that he was in the minority that the show doesn’t need stunt casting in order to succeed. There were rumors that Brit might make another appearance on the show after her first one came off great. Producers have reportedly been receptive to the idea. Things aren’t looking good on Neil’s part then.
Catch her if you can as Amy Winehouse is set to do just one appearance on the UK festival circuit this year. The only chance to see the wreck that is Wino in concert this summer is at Bestival on the Isle of Wight in September. The singer has agreed to be the Saturday headline act. I wish all of you, who are set to buy tickets expecting to see her, a ton of luck. You’re all quite aware of her history. Here’s to hoping that she shows up. But if her hubby gets out of jail early and goes bonkers with Wino and the drugs again, don’t hold your breath.
Now that it’s pretty safe to say that Madonna will be able to keep her Malawian adopted son David Banda, new reports are coming out that the Queen of Pop wants to adopt again. This time around, she’s hoping to adopt a baby girl from India. It is being said that she’s planning to make the trip and the adoption after the promotional stuff for her new album ‘Hard Candy’ gets done. Madonna was in India with her family earlier this year and met with someone who supposedly talked her into adopting a child from India. I say that this is a complete rumor.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are a surprisingly private couple.
First she gets pregnant and they stay tight-lipped, now the Hollywood couple were reported to have tied the knot in secret.
US magazine Star had believed Brangelina wed over the weekend in a ceremony held in New Orleans.
However, their spokesperson claimed to have ‘no idea’ about the news when questioned.
Curiouser and curiouser…
Meanwhile, another US outfit, People, say that the couple are NOT married and, in fact, are not even in New Orleans at the moment - they say the couple are in Texas while Brad films a new movie.
Star magazine have since retracted their report, releasing a statement saying: “After further investigation, the sources are not standing by their story.”
One thing’s for sure though, Angelina’s belly is getting bigger and I’m sure it’s not because she’s been scoffing deep fried Mars bars…
After pictures of Amy Winehouse came out with her arm all cut up and bruised, speculations have run rampant that she’s back to self-harming. But according to the British pop wreck’s publicist, all the blame for the cuts is on Wino’s cat. Oh come on! There’s no way that those are from an angry feline. People aren’t stupid. But then again… Chris Goodman, Amy’s publicist from the UK’s Outside Organisation said that the whole cat comment was just another newspaper report and not from him. He says that all he gave the paper was a “no comment”. Darned tabloids! You can never trust them.
Lily Allen is getting over her split from Chemical Brothers DJ Ed Simons; by dating another musician.
The Smile singer, who also dated music talent scout Seb Chew before Ed, has been living with producer Robertson Furze for a month.
Pals say Robbie, as pals know him, offered the star a shoulder to cry on after she had a miscarriage and her relationship hit the rocks. At the same time her BBC Three show Lily Allen and Friends was being panned by critics.
A source said: “Lily has been through a tough time this year. She split from Ed only weeks after they lost their baby and she has been feeling incredibly down about it. Her TV show has been struggling too.
“She has known Robbie for years and he was there when things went wrong with Ed. She moved in with him a few weeks ago and they have been sharing a bed. It started off innocently but they are doing more than just cuddling now.”
The couple have been spotted laughing together several times recently. They went out to dinner last night and were pictured giggling arm-in-arm at the weekend on the way to breakfast in a cafe near to their North London pad.
The source added: “Robbie and his pals have been doing everything they can to cheer Lil up. It has worked — she is back on great form.”
Pop queen Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie have been living separate lives as their marriage hits the rocks, pals revealed yesterday. The troubled couple have even divided their homes into his and hers quarters – so they avoid each other, it was claimed.
They have shocked friends by spending months behaving as flatmates “who pass in the night” rather than husband and wife. Sources say the pair have both privately confessed that they do not think their seven-year marriage will survive much longer.
In January film director Guy, 39, furnished a wing of their new home in London’s Marylebone for his private use while Madonna, 49, took another quarter for herself.
A close pal said yesterday the couple tried to “reclaim the magic” with a romantic dinner – but immediately went back to living “like brother and sister”.
The pal said: “The marriage is hanging by a thread. No one doubts they adore their three kids – but the children seem to be the only reason they are living this strange loveless existence.”
Rumours about the couple’s problems have intensified in recent weeks.
It was claimed last night Madonna felt “badly let down” that Guy had not supported her at several high-profile public appearances. The source said: “There were rows after Guy didn’t turn up at Madonna’s Raising Malawi fundraiser at the UN HQ in New York last month. The event was incredibly important to her. Guy also wasn’t present at his wife’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame dinner last week.”
David Beckham is tackled by a mystery blonde in a nightclub.
The former England skipper was mobbed by stunners chanting “sexy Beckham” while on tour with LA Galaxy.
Becks, 32 – who hopes to return to the national team – partied until 4am with South Korean fans and teammates while apparently drinking whisky.
Reveller Winter Kim, who was at Seoul’s Circle Club, said: “He began chatting to a group of girls. One in a clingy black dress curled her arm around his neck. It was her dream come true.”
Becks’ spokesman said: “He was approached by lots of people wanting to kiss him and pose for pictures.
“It happens everywhere he goes. There’s nothing more to it.”
It looks like Britney Spears is up to her old tricks by making crazy requests of LA shopkeepers. Gatecrasher is reporting that Britney walked into a Betsey Johnson boutique on Melrose Ave. in LA and wanted them to copy a Dolce & Gabbana dress – than very day and in all white. When they explained to the pop wreck that they couldn’t do it, Britney decided to take a wig instead – a yellow one on a window mannequin for $100.
In other Britney news, her mother Lynne is reportedly singing praises of her ex-husband Jamie, telling people that he’s “stepped up to the plate”. He’s certainly doing better than you have!
Star is reporting that photographer Adnan Ghalib is bragging to his friends that he is going to the father of Britney Spears’ baby. One friend says that “Britney is Adnan’s dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with Brit, he’ll be made for life.” As expected, Britney’s family is not happy about it. A Spears family source says that “Her parents know she can’t handle more children.”
Maybe this report will get Jamie Spears to stop letting Adnan visit his daughter. He has the legal say after all. Adnan is a total creep and Britney doesn’t need guys like that around.
….Tiffany’s jewelry, that is.
After working out at an L.A. gym, Katharine McPhee took her two dogs Nena and Larry out for a stroll. Then she headed over to the Century City mall. In her hands was a stack of jewelry boxes from Tiffany and Co., an upscale jewelry store.
Someone had a Happy Valentine’s Day!
Access Hollywood is reporting that a new law is being proposed to protect pop wreck Britney Spears from the paparazzi. Councilman Dennis Zine said that “[It cost] $25,000 dollars to take an ambulance with Britney Spears to the hospital. Tax payers paid for that. It is not going to be called the ‘Britney Spears Law,’ I am not going to give her credit for that because it is not about Britney Spears, it’s about the paparazzi violating everybody else’s rights, freedoms, and privileges. What the paparazzi have done is developed a lawless society where the rules don’t apply — on the wrong side of the street, jumping out of cars at the red lights, swarming the car, you don’t do that.”
He hasn’t scored a hit with his previous efforts but Justin Timberlake is going full-speed ahead on his acting career as he is slated to star in a new film called ‘The Open Road’. Variety is reporting that the 27-year old ‘Sexyback’ singer will play a young man trying to reconnect with his father (who will be played by Jeff Bridges), a legendary athlete, as he struggles to get him home to his ailing mother’s (played by Mary Steenburgen) bedside. Has he not learned? He should just stick to what his really good at – and that’s singing, writing and producing music.
Kylie Minogue turned heads with her hotness when she attended that 43rd Goldene Kamera Awards in Berlin, Germany on Wednesday. While she was there, she made sure to clear up the rumors about getting back together with her former flame.
Kylie adamantly denied reports saying that she is back together with French actor Olivier Martinez even thought they were spotted together in Paris last week. She said about being photographed with him last week “I had dinner with my ex-boyfriend and next thing I know there’s a debate about whether we’re having a family. We didn’t even talk about that. As I’ve maintained, we’re friends.”
Amy Winehouse has been brought to the hospital. But don’t fret, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. The singer’s hospitalization was said to be needed, so says her father. Wino was suffering from dehydration, was vomiting a lot and needed to be put on a drip to get fluids and essentials back in her system.
The reasons for her hospitalization are actually symptoms of withdrawal and that’s good because it means that she’s not back on drugs. Wino’s dad said that she was moved to a hospital because her rehab facility did not have sufficient medical facilities. It looks like everything is going according to the rehab plan.
There’s more to the Britney Spears madness than just custody battles and dating paparazzi. Proof of that is when police showed up at the pop wreck’s house again on Wednesday night. It was another night filled with helicopters, dozens of paparazzi, Britney’s mom and even Alli Sims. The scene was total chaos. Rumors are swirling that the pop wreck tried to commit suicide. Thankfully though, she is said to be without harm and nothing serious happened. Whatever may have gone down in there, this is just another reason why she needs to get substantial help and not just popping any medication.
Having a miscarriage can be hard on a woman and on a relationship. Lily Allen knows.
After suffering the loss of her baby with rocker Ed Simons, Lily has called it quits. Well, for now anyway. Rumors have flown that the two are broken up, but some sources say they spent time together today. Her rep has no comment at this time.
A friend simply says, “She is feeling fine. She is throwing herself into her work on her new album and TV show.”
Rumors continue to fly concerning Heath Ledger’s sudden death. The Post has reported that Heath was a regular cocaine and heroin user over the past year. Reports now say that is what caused the breakup between Heath and Michelle.
A “friend” of Heath’s (who did drugs with him) told The Post that “she couldn’t take it anymore. Heath wouldn’t show up for two or three days, and all of a sudden he would show up on her doorstep, an absolute wreck.” Michelle gave Heath a choice between her and Matilda or the drugs. It was a choice Heath had trouble making.
While many have said it was an overdose that caused his death, no official word will be released until toxicology reports are back.
Britney Spears’ paparazzi boy toy Adnan Ghalib has a wife who just filed for divorce. And now, he’s proclaiming that he wants to marry the pop wreck. More shockingly, Britney wants to have another baby with him.
Adnan tells Entertainment Tonight, via People, that their relationship is “far from over” and that he didn’t get involved with Britney to sell more pictures or use her. As for the incident when he and Britney were looking at pregnancy tests at a Rite Aid, she was apparently “hoping” that she was pregnant with his kid. Now that is a train wreck waiting to happen.
Just another celebrity rumour to add to my belief 2008 is baby boom year.
Stunning singer Fergie and her fiancé Josh Duhamel have sparked pregnancy rumours after being given baby gifts.
Josh, who has been dating the ‘London Bridge’ singer for three years, was celebrating the 100th episode of his hit US TV show ‘Las Vegas’ when Mayor Oscar Goodman presented him with a pair of baby’s shoes.
A source said, “Mayor Goodman gave Josh a pair of baby Crocs sandals for his future baby with fiancée Fergie. Everyone is saying she is pregnant.”
Fergie has previously spoken of her desire to settle down and start a family.She said: “It is one of my dreams to have babies with Josh. It will be so special when it happens.”
The couple announced their engagement last month, and Fergie showed off her impressive diamond ring when she performed in Atlantic City just days later.
According to one radio host with the name of Zack Taylor, Avril Lavigne has a bun in the over. The 23-year old Canadian pop rock singer is reportedly 1.5 months pregnant. If you do the math, that means Avril is due to give birth to in August. This would be Avril’s and Sum 41 husband Deryck Whibley’s first child together. The couple will celebrate their second wedding anniversary in July.
Too bad that the news isn’t true. Avril’s label rep spoke to Us Weekly and squashed the radio host’s earlier report and said that the news was not true. To be honest, I’m not sure if I want a little Avril running around in the world anyway.
Thursday night was certainly drama-filled for the Spears family. And it got especially hotter when 2 ambulances drove out of Britney’s home – one carrying her and another carrying little tyke Jayden James. Everyone was worried about the kid’s health especially when it was reported that Britney seemed to be under the influence and had locked herself and her son in the bathroom.
However, we can rest easy because JJ is ok. He was not injured during the standoff at Britney’s. He was taken to the hospital purely for “preventative reasons”. He just had the normal scrapes and rashes that little ones have but nothing alarming. It’s just SOP.
It goes from bad to worse with Britney Spears. When she isn’t stealing lighters worth pennies or driving over policemen’s’ feet; she is making up lame illness excuses to avoid being questioned in court. And now it seems that that little stunt may have backfired. It is rumoured that by failing to turn up at her court-ordered deposition this week; Britney Spears may be banned from appealing for custody of her children.
All because she couldn’t face a days worth of questioning about her drug habits, among other things, but could face a night out on the town til 2am on that very same night. Needless to say her ex-husbands lawyers are furious; and reportedly plan to ask the judge to bar Britney from asking for more custody rights.
Oh dear, it doesn’t look good. Already reports have been filed against her abilities as a parent, we have all seen the proof against her ability to drive…and yet somehow she is filing for adoption rights. The world is topsy turvy…
It appears that her spree of bad decisions isn’t over yet. Apparently she wasn’t a bad enough role model for her boys. I guess her album’s doing so poorly that she has to steal just to get by.
According to the owner of a Sherman Oaks, California, Chevron gas station, Britney stole a lighter from the store on Friday night.
Britney stopped at the store and bought a pack of gum. On her way out of the store, she picked up a blue lighter. A photographer who was in the area reminded her that she “forgot” to pay for it, and she “sarcastically responded, ‘I stole something. Oh, I’m bad!’”
What the crap? How much does a lighter cost?
Jatinder Kaur, the owner of the Chevron, had this to say, “Yes, Britney stole a blue lighter here last night. The lighter is $1.39. I’m hoping maybe the next time she comes back she will pay for it. I know she can afford to pay for it, but I’m not planning to file a police report. It’s still not right for her to steal the lighter. I hope she will do the right thing the next time she comes here.”
Keira Knightley and Ellen talked extensively about Keira’s many nude photo shoots. Keira readily admitted that she was well on her way to total nudism.
Umm, ok, maybe this isn’t meant to be strictly commentary, but I for one don’t want to see her nude. I mean, look at the chick. Her body fat percentage is like -10%. You can see her bones, and I can’t imagine seeing her completely naked.
Nonetheless, I have to give her props for having the balls to do it. I mean, I wouldn’t dare strip of the clothes and let anyone take my photog. Keira, just eat some dinner before you pose - you need some meat on those bones, honey.
Somebody’s been chugging down the egg nog way too early. A fan ran into the lead Pussycat Doll and hot mess known as Nicole Scherzinger on the night before Thanksgiving and she reported just how their meeting went.
“So I saw Nicole Scherzinger in her hometown of Louisville, KY last night at Felt. She was completely wasted, kept singing a terrible version of that overplayed ‘Buttons’ song and acted kind of put out that I wanted a pic.” And judging by the picture, yeah, I think she’s completely out of it.
Perhaps Nicole was drowning her sorrows away over her solo album being pushed back several times.
